New Digital Camera for Crime Scenes

Singapore has announced the purchase of one or more state-of-the-art digital cameras to help with crime scene investigations. This camera can take 360 degree panoromas, zoom in to record details at high resolution and even measure distances between objects. Its like of like taking a digital record of the crime scene for later analysis in the lab. Sounds like the science fiction-like capabilities seen on CSI are becoming more of a reality for the Singapore Home Team's SCDF or Singapore Civil Defence Force.

Interesting

Note, the photograph shown in the news report is of the Special Operations Command, a branch of the Police, not the SCDF. Although both the SCDF and the Police are under the Home Team Command.
